BYD Sealion 7 vs XPeng G6 2025 review: Which new Chinese electric car is the best family SUV?
Australia is awash with new Chinese car brands, the vast majority of which are launching with fully electric vehicles, mostly in the extremely popular mid-size SUV segment. It figures, then, that this expert review sees CarsGuide Deputy News Editor Tom White comparing the already best-selling BYD Sealion 7 with the critically acclaimed XPeng G6.
The Sealion 7 is a style-focused coupe SUV, while the less-interesting-to-look-at G6 isn’t far off with its steeply raked exterior design. Either way, the two models are offering family car buyers both similar and different things.
The BYD’s entry-level Premium variant comes with an 82.6kWh battery pack that delivers 482km of WLTP-certified driving range. The XPeng’s base-spec Standard Range has a smaller, 66kWh unit that lasts 435km between charges.
Under the bonnet, the Sealion 7 has a single rear-mounted electric motor with 230kW of power and 380Nm of torque, while the G6 has a similar set-up but with 190kW/440Nm.
So, which model is best? Watch on to find out.
